Interesting subject, I would think focus and prioritization are the two aspects that need to be determined early on - whether to adress organizational pain points or improving quality, speed and minimizing cost of your products and/or services. There are a lot of new shiny objects out there and, pretty much aligned with your question, mine would be: "What's really at stake and how will this new technology/investment contribute in achieving my objective and how can I measure it in the process along the way?". Thanks for raising this discussion.

So true

The never ending debate of man vs machine is in the new age technology vs human connect. We are losing the latter as we are unable to find the right balance of both. Techology is the enabler and embrace it we must. The extent off being overwhelmed by it depends on what we want from our roles and the organization.

So fortunate to see you on LinkedIn as I salute you for your strategy of HR The Change Leaders .

We are currently hearing so much about AI and the Fourth Industrial Revolution and yet we also see so many IT applications that are being used in isolation: HR, Finance, Marketing, Sales - the list goes on. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will not add value until such time as all of these applications are linked; not only to each other, but also to the Value Chain (working back from the Customer). Senior Management need to be able to see the whole picture and be able to retrieve information expediently if they are to take advantage of changes in the internal and external environments. I have not seen a product yet that can provide this service. What is more, I think it likely that, given that all organizations and situations tend to be unique, there will be a need for more bespoked applications (rather than buying off-the-shelf).? It will be interesting to see which software house first meets this task!

Hi Dave, The thoughts presented are very profound and practical but the real challenge on the field lies in upskilling/reskilling to cope with the technological tsunami. How do organisations/economies and the world overall comes to term with the change. The focus on macro picture is something that should be looked at.? Regards, Prateek

I face this challenge very frequently. What works for me is to define my problem statement - what is the desired output/information I need. Basis this, select the best suited tech. and stick with it for a certain period. Revisit your problem statement after a while and move on to new tech. if the earlier one is no longer the best option

True it's about how you you are able to detach yourself and not be subsumed by all that sounds and looks Tech and making you in a compulsive state..personally I prefer buying fresh green veggies from the regular market and not through some app..

Very well written - as you rightly said, it’s all about purposes of life !

Digital transformation takes people, vision, and it takes heart. It’s a complicated and complex journey; no single piece of tech is going to make it happen.? Leadership must understand and define the right strategic objectives. Employees need to understand WHY the business is going through transformation. Only then, as a second step, can technologies come in to take things forward. Transformation is disruptive, but the majority of staff should be able to see the benefits, and even see it as a personal opportunity, a career opportunity, rather than a threat. But to support such good morale, frequent COMMUNICATION around the vision is needed – nobody should feel out of the loop.? Over and over again, the organisation must be clear about how they are tackling very specific goals. People tend to respect leaders who communicate well, and share about things that matter.? As such the most important technology is a proper two-communication App that enables leaders to get their messages across to every single one on board and to collect feedback from the people on a continuous basis. Digital transformation is certainly an opportunity for leadership to step up.
